    Grumble. I have been conveniently been forgetting about that socket.
    Similarly we have the user mode helpers to deal with.

    For this conversation there is a simple answer. All of that is in the
    kobject layer, and works even when you compile sysfs out of your kernel.
    Therefore it is a separate problem. And sysfs idr tags have nothing
    to do with it.

    It is most definitely something we need to come back to. I bet there
    are some interesting interactions when you have multiple network devices
    with the same name generating events.
